Description

In-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to liquid crystal indicator.More particularly, relate to a kind of in-plane-switching mode liquid crystal display (IPS-LCD) device that has wherein improved the brightness of black.
Background technology
Because liquid crystal display (LCD) device has in light weight, slim body and characteristic low in energy consumption, so just developed into follow-on display device.Usually, the LCD device is non-emissive display devices, thereby it utilizes refringence to come display image by the optically anisotropic character of utilizing the liquid crystal material that inserts between array base palte and filter substrate.In dissimilar known liquid crystal indicators (LCD), having the thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) with matrix arrangement and the thin film transistor (AM-LCD) of pixel electrode is the theme of great research and development, because these thin film transistors have high resolving power and show the superiority of moving image.
In conventional LCD device, because pixel electrode and public electrode lay respectively on infrabasal plate and the upper substrate, so the longitudinal electric field of between infrabasal plate and upper substrate, vertically inducting.Conventional LCD device has high transmission rate and high aperture ratio.But, use the shortcoming of the conventional LCD device of longitudinal electric field to be that their visual angle is very narrow.In order to solve the problem at narrow visual angle, proposed to switch in the face liquid crystal display (IPS-LCD) device.
The IPS-LCD device generally comprises an infrabasal plate, is furnished with a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of public electrode on this infrabasal plate.Between upper and lower substrate, insert liquid crystal layer.Upper substrate is without any electrode.With reference to Fig. 1, come the mode of operation of typical IPS-LCD plate is elaborated.
Fig. 1 is the cut-open view that the principle of prior art IPS-LCD plate is shown.As shown in Figure 1, upper substrate 20 and infrabasal plate 10 separate each other, and insert a liquid crystal layer 30 between them.Usually upper substrate 20 and infrabasal plate 10 are called filter substrate and array base palte.On infrabasal plate 10, be provided with a public electrode 12 and a pixel electrode 14.Be provided with public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14 to such an extent that make them parallel to each other.On the surface of upper substrate 20, usually a color-filter layer (not shown) is provided with the pixel electrode 14 of infrabasal plate 10 and public electrode 12 between regional corresponding.
Stride voltage that public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14 the apply liquid crystal molecule 32 by liquid crystal layer 30 and produce face internal electric fields " IF ".Liquid crystal molecule 32 has positive dielectric anisotropy, so liquid crystal molecule 32 will be parallel to electric field " IF " arrangement.When between public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14, not applying electric field, when promptly being in " off-position ", the longitudinal axis of liquid crystal (LC) molecule 32 is parallel to public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14, and forms a limited angle with respect to public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14.For example, the longitudinal axis of LC molecule 32 is parallel to public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14 during off-position.But, during " "on" position ", when between public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14, applying voltage, between public electrode 12 and pixel electrode 14, produced the transverse electric field " IF " on the surface that is parallel to infrabasal plate 10.Transverse electric field " IF " rearranges LC molecule 32, makes the longitudinal axis of LC molecule 32 aim at electric field " IF " coincidence.Because LC molecule switching direction and make simultaneously their longitudinal axis remain on the perpendicular plane of the direct-view direction of display in, so switching can allow display device to have wide visual angle in the face.For example, the visual angle can from perpendicular to the straight line of IPS-LCD plate along last-lower side to change 80 degree along the L-R side direction to 85 degree.
Fig. 2 A is the planimetric map according to the array base palte of prior art IPS-LCD device, and Fig. 2 B is the planimetric map according to the array base palte of another prior art IPS-LCD device.Public electrode and the pixel electrode of Fig. 2 A are arranged in bar paten, and the public electrode of Fig. 2 B and pixel electrode are arranged in the indentation pattern.As shown in Figure 2A and 2B, arrange select lines " GL " to such an extent that cross described accompanying drawing, arrange data line " DL " to such an extent that be substantially perpendicular to select lines " GL ".Also concentric line " CL " is arranged to such an extent that be parallel to select lines " GL " and cross described accompanying drawing, and separated with select lines " GL ".In each figure, contiguous select lines " GL " is provided with a thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) " T " with the point of crossing of data line " DL ".
Shown in Fig. 2 A, stretch out a plurality of public electrodes 40 from concentric line " CL ", and a plurality of pixel electrodes 42 are connected to TFT " T ".Described a plurality of public electrode 40 and described a plurality of pixel electrode 42 are parallel to data line " DL " and replace each other.Owing in the IPS-LCD device, utilize the transverse electric field between public electrode 40 and the pixel electrode 42 to drive liquid crystal layer, so improved viewing angle properties.And, further improved viewing angle properties by adopting the multi-region structure.For example, proposed to have the structure of indentation pattern shown in Fig. 2 B.
Shown in Fig. 2 B, a plurality of public electrodes 50 alternate with a plurality of pixel electrodes 52.Described a plurality of public electrode 50 and described a plurality of pixel electrode 52 have the indentation pattern.Liquid crystal molecule between public electrode 50 and the pixel electrode 52 is along the both direction arrangement that has as the sweep on border, to constitute the multi-region structure.Thus, further improved the visual angle.But, because the sensing (director) of liquid crystal molecule differs from one another in comprising the IPS-LCD device of indentation pattern, thus inverse (color inversion) has appearred, and limited the visual angle.
Fig. 3 A and 3B are the synoptic diagram that illustrates according to the rearrangement state of the liquid crystal molecule in the normal black pattern IPS-LCD device with indentation pattern of prior art.Fig. 3 A shows " off-position " ordered state when not applying voltage, and Fig. 3 B shows " "on" position " ordered state when applying voltage.
Direction of orientation among Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B fades to 90 ° from 270 °.As shown in Fig. 3 A, when not applying voltage, the major axis of liquid crystal molecule 60 " A1 " is corresponding to described direction of orientation.In the case, gamut (color shift) may take place.For example, when color should be black,,, may observe shallow basket look promptly from 0 ° to 180 ° along the minor axis " A2 " of liquid crystal molecule 60.It is poor that this shallow basket look comes from the major axis " A1 " and the delay (retardation) between the minor axis " A2 " of liquid crystal molecule 60, thereby made the black deterioration.But when when two area pixel apply voltage, shown in Fig. 3 B, liquid crystal molecule 60 is symmetric offset spread in two zones " D1 " and " D2 ".Therefore, according to the visual angle, improved the demonstration (appearance) of black slightly.
